Overview

Why study the Political Science program from Gordon College?

There are less than 25 students in most classes, so political science students can work closely with professors and peers on substantive projects. Classes are Socratic in style—faculty facilitate student conversation by asking open-ended questions. Studying from a Christian perspective allows you to consider questions of political structuring inside of the framework of justice and Christian responsibility. A required internship will give you real-world experience in the context of thoughtful Christian engagement.
